2 Equal Groups Worksheet
Exercise 2
Complete the equal groups worksheet by drawing groups for 3 groups of 4, 2 groups of 6, and 5 groups of 2. Count the total items and write the multiplication equations.
Definition:

Equal Groups Worksheet: A practice sheet that helps students understand multiplication by creating sets with the same number of items in each group.

Groups
3 of 4
Total
12
Equation
3×4=12
Step 1: Draw 3 Groups of 4

Create 3 distinct groups, each containing 4 items = 12 total items

Step 2: Draw 2 Groups of 6

Create 2 distinct groups, each containing 6 items = 12 total items

Step 3: Draw 5 Groups of 2

Create 5 distinct groups, each containing 2 items = 10 total items

Step 4: Count Total Items

Count all items across all groups for each problem

Step 5: Write Multiplication Equations

Record the multiplication equations for each group configuration

• Equal Groups Rule: Each group must have the same number of items

• Counting Rule: Count all items across all groups

• Worksheet Rule: Follow instructions systematically

Groups Items per Group Number of Groups Total Equation
3 groups of 4 4 3 12 3×4=12
2 groups of 6 6 2 12 2×6=12
5 groups of 2 2 5 10 5×2=10
3 Mixed Arrays and Groups Worksheet
Exercise 3
Complete the mixed worksheet by showing the same multiplication facts using both arrays and equal groups: 4×3 and 2×5. Compare both representations and explain how they show the same concept.
Definition:

Mixed Arrays and Groups Worksheet: A practice sheet that combines both visual representations to reinforce the connection between arrays and equal groups.

Groups
4 of 3
Step 1: Draw 4×3 Array

Create 4 rows and 3 columns = 12 total elements

Step 2: Draw 4 Groups of 3

Create 4 groups with 3 items each = 12 total items

Step 3: Draw 2×5 Array

Create 2 rows and 5 columns = 10 total elements

Step 4: Draw 2 Groups of 5

Create 2 groups with 5 items each = 10 total items

Step 5: Compare Representations
